La Xara 2025

2024 / 93 puntos

The 2024 La Xara is another different red. It's made from pure Garnacha, a variety able to adapt to the three consecutive warm and dry summers and keep the fresh and floral character. It fermented with full clusters in 4,500-liter oak vats and matured in an 11,000-liter vat and 600-liter barrels for seven months. They managed to make a serious wine, with some austerity but without any green notes. It has contained ripeness and good freshness and balance, with 13.5% alcohol, a pH of 3.65 and 5.5 grams of acidity. It started a little closed and took time to open up in the glass. It has more complexity and depth than in previous years, a more serious Garnacha. In 2026, the new Garnacha plantings will come into production. 12,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in early March 2025.
